I'm thinking that the number of Traveller players who GAF about this is pretty low. So I am disinclined to think that it is "bad service" to not fix a problem hardly anyone is aware of.
I know its fun for those of us with real world logistics expertise and a lot of Traveller knowledge to get into details like this, but I would not be surprised if no one at Mongoose even knew this was an issue much less ever thought of a useful fix for it. I know this is extremely rarely brought up as a "how do I do this trade thing" question from folks on the various social media. It's a level of detail far beyond what most people ever find a use for.
The whole idea of using volumetric measurements is problematic for any purpose except making deckplans easy to do. For one thing, L-Hydrogen has a pathetically bad volumetric energy density. It is a completely crap fuel if volume is your metric, but it has a pretty high energy density by mass. Which is why it is used as rocket fuel, because mass is the main factor there.
